Odds and Ends

Alex has always loved Toy Story, especially Woody. He even 'found' a toy Woody on the desk of the judge that finalized his adoption. But this toy Woody has seen better days. He has ripped and torn and been eaten so many times that if I try to sew him back together the material just falls apart. So....

...we fixed him! And the funny thing is I even had to add more after taking this picture. Alex added the facial tape just because. But notice the boots. When I said poor Woody had been eaten I wasn't kidding. Alex has chewed most of Woody's fingers off and almost all of the boots. So we made new boots with the duct tape.

For Christmas this year Mike and I have offered to take the kids on a monthly activity that we plan and pay for. For February we went to a Grizzlies hockey game.

...Al, Lou and Mo.

The latest fun that the girls have been doing while at my house is play house. It's so cute to see them pretend to be mommy's or babies.

Here's Oak sitting in N's car seat while mommy Mo rocks her and sings her to sleep.

And they also have discovered dress ups. Here's Oak modeling this ensemble...

...and Mo in her dazzling outfit.
